To all the women whose mothers pass suddenly

This is a beautiful momento to all of us. It reminds us how much we love our mothers when we miss the chance to say goodbye. Beautifully written and narrated and I hear Sarah Ferguson’s pain and passion. Thank you for sharing this with me.

On Mother

I thought this was a wonderful short story. I could feel the emotion and relate to my own, Thank you as I was able to find empathy towards the daughter and sympathy towards the family.

Very moving

A beautiful and sensitively written book.
I really appreciated the courage of the author to share with us her Mother’s story.
I love the candour, her depth of feelings and finally the wisdom of her words.
This book is so recommended
